[bug]: Migrator script is looping due to an error

[ronnyandre]

Is there an existing issue for this?

Current behavior

This happens both when running setup.sh and manually using docker compose.

Using the setup script, starting the applications ends up with this message:

>> Waiting for API Service to Start (300s)............................................................................................................................................................................................................................
   API Service health check timed out after 5 minutes
   Checking if API container is still running...
   API container is running but did not pass the health-check. Continuing without marking it ready.
   ⚠️  API Service did not respond to health-check – please verify manually.
   Plane Server started successfully ✅

   You can access the application at http://localhost

Then the frontend just says:

**Looks like Plane didn't start up correctly!**

Some services might have failed to start. Please check your container logs to identify and resolve the issue. If you're stuck, reach out to our support team for more help.

And checking the logs with docker compose logs -f shows the issue:
